It was nice of Kansas men’s basketball coach Bill Self to say that if Wichita State finishes the season unbeaten, they should be a No. 1 seed.

And if they lose?

I guess that since he has proven time and again that they are not good enough to play each season, they probably do not deserve the No. 1 spot either.

Never mind that this team is a perfect 30-0, something 11 other teams have ever done. Or that Wichita State was a Final Four team last season.

“I don’t want to say never, but I mean, we’re pretty locked into what we’re trying to do from a scheduling standpoint, and that’s not a knock on anybody,” Self said.

I mean why play Wichita State in a game that could be a big draw when you can travel to Chicago and New York to play games?

If you are Kansas, you don’t.

Not to mention the Jayhawks are sitting at No. 5 and would probably be in line for that No. 1 seed if Wichita State did lose.

Self went on to say this: If that were to happen and both teams met in the tournament, it would mean both teams have done quite well to get to that game. But I’m not the least bit concerned or consumed by this.
